Audrey I Know You Sneak Into My Room At Night

By A Friend on April 29, 2019 / 3,396 views

Audrey when we found you, you were 1/2 dead and 100% feral. I'm glad you grew out of attacking everyone. Only took 4 years. I'm glad you've learned to allow the occasional family friend to pet your head....only the head anywhere else and you bite and that took 8 years. I've accepted that you don't really like humans and are happy just doing your own thing. But can I...

A Single Evergreen

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 26, 2019 / 4,406 views

When my daughter was in grade school one day she brought home 4 tiny twigs. They were trees given to the students by the school to plant. None of them looked very hardy but with a hope for the future I got a spade and planted them in our backyard. Over the years an accident with the lawnmower and poor soil brought an end to three of them. All that was left was a single evergreen. It grew crooked and...

By Milton Lopez Delgado on April 26, 2019 / 3,653 views

Dear Mom & Dad, This is the first chance I had to write to you. I'm sorry if I made you worry. I want you to know that all is well and I arrived safe and sound at Camp Heaven. Everything around me is more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. The trip was short. I got here just after I closed my eyes and fell asleep. It was as if no time had past at all. I miss you...

By Todd Love on April 26, 2019 / 3,827 views

What are the chances? The pilot was standing around as I got out of my wheelchair to board my flight to Portland. He followed me and the flight attendant who volunteered to carry my bag. I fling myself into my seat. He quickly asked, "were you in the military." I replied "yes." He said, "Afghanistan...

My Friend Daisy

By Jay Abington on April 19, 2019 / 4,174 views

Getting out of the back of the truck I stood in at a ranch home that was set back from the dirt road just enough to be completely shaded by the biggest oak tree I had ever seen. The house was square with a rusty old screened in porch that went all the way around. I found out later it was built around 1860 and was completely constructed with square nails. To the left was a very impressive...

Morning Affirmation

By A Friend on April 19, 2019 / 6,320 views

Today is going to be a beautiful day. You are going to have a lot of experiences, some you perceive as good and some that you perceive as bad. You will make it through all of them. You will learn, a lot and perhaps more through the experiences that you didn’t want or expect. You get to experience contrast, the light and the dark, both will guide you in the direction you are meant to go. Both will teach...

A Second Chance

On the last night of the trip I had about an hour's daylight left for a ride so I took off and headed for the back side of the lake about 4 miles from camp as I come around a corner and I'm suddenly engulfed in a cloud of dust but I can see well enough to make out tire tracks going from the middle of the road then around the corner .as I proceed with caution around the corner. I see a truck has just...

Marooned Dog Strikes Oil!

By Troy Kester on April 18, 2019 / 2,904 views

A dog named Fools Gold was at sea with his owners on a yacht. A rail came loose and suddenly she fell overboard. She swam almost all day, wondering if she's ever find dry land or be rescued. As she swam, she looked back over her life and remembered why she was named just so. One bad happening after another! Being abandoned, being attacked by vicious pitbulls and surviving and getting a broken leg. He...

A Milkshake

By A Friend on April 17, 2019 / 4,388 views

I work in a pharmacy and had been having a bad day. An elderly lady came in to drop off her husband’s script and I told her it’d be about a half hour. She told me that it’s fine and that they were going out to eat and I jokingly told her to bring me a milkshake. I was so...

Listen To The Echo!

By Anjali on April 14, 2019 / 3,219 views

A beautiful, breathtaking tabla music echoed on the air, breaking the silence of the surrounding everyday at blue hour, that the Sun is at a significant depth below the horizon. Many years passed, but still the same tabla practice was going on everyday for three, four hours! Even the birds were silent to listen the soothing music, coming out from a small hut just near a river bank. Adjacent to it, was a very...

So my son 7 years old has saved his money over the past year+. He has 235$. We are driving home the other day.

He said "that neighborhood had a sign that said new...

Spilled Brownies

By A Friend on April 10, 2019 / 4,181 views

My wife drives a school bus. It’s a tougher job than most think for minimal pay but she tries her best to make her passengers happy while keeping them safe. One of her younger elementary students got on the bus this morning with a tray of brownies he had made for firemen who were speaking at his school today. When they arrived at school, on his way off the bus, he tripped and spilled the tray...

This Is True Love

Me (left) and my dad (right) a few years ago. I caught an undiagnosed lung infection that left me in a bad way for about 10 days. Dad just used to sit next to me for hours and read, I wasn't really with it but he had obviously decided my breathing tube was more comfortable in this...

How Little Faith Provides Miracles

By Lloyd Celeste on April 08, 2019 / 4,120 views

One day my fiancé sent me a text message telling me that she needs money for her graduation fee. However, she has no salary for the month of May because classes have already ended. I replied to her, "Okay, this is what you are going to do. Put it in your mind that after 30 days you will have the money that you need. Worried and sad, she said, "Okay, I will...

A Million Moments

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 08, 2019 / 3,604 views

It was the first day of April, but Mother Nature hadn't gotten the message. Like some bad April Fool's Day joke the ground was hard and frozen when I walked outside. The grass and few daffodils that had bloomed were covered in frost. The single dandelion that had popped its head through the ground had closed up again in the below freezing cold. I watched the sun peeking over the trees and wondered if...
